New representative for head of state praises Canada as ‘pretty well’ perfect
And things went south from there.
Listen to CTV desperately hyping ‘excitement’ and ‘large crowds’ for Louise Arbour’s Governor General ceremony in Ottawa.
Reality check: 142 people watching online and the crowds… where are they exactly?
This is taxpayer funded theater for the elite/political class.

Just another Carney-Con.
At the immigration hearing for an accused Indian gangster last week, an Edmonton Police officer attempted to illustrate the scale of the criminal operation that law enforcement was now dealing with.
The hearing concerned Jashandeep Singh, an Indian national who had been photographed joking around with an illegal firearm linked to extortion-related violence in Edmonton.
Singh told the hearing through a Punjabi translator that he had no idea that the man who had given him what he thought was a replica gun, Arshdeep Singh, worked in organized crime. And it was these criminal links that got Arshdeep himself deported under guard in January, with the Canada Border Services Agency declaring him inadmissible due to “membership in a criminal organization linked to extortion, arson, drug trafficking, and firearm offences.”
Remigration now.
Tax Freedom Day — the day Canadians stop working to pay their taxes and start earning money for themselves — arrives on Tuesday, June 9 this year, according to an annual survey by the Fraser Institute.
Federal documents show Ottawa has agreed to grant Chinese manufacturers access to a volume of electric vehicle imports equivalent to roughly half of Canada’s battery electric vehicle market, despite previous government claims the arrangement represented only a small share of sales.
Blacklock’s Reporter says details tabled in the House of Commons reveal the federal government has committed to allowing 49,000 Chinese-made battery electric vehicles into Canada this year, with the quota rising to 63,037 vehicles by 2031.
Regular readers know that this column has not been an inexhaustible source of flattering reflections on the Carney government. This makes it a particular pleasure to support a number of the prime minister’s initiatives last week. The tenor of his speech to the Economic Club of New York was a complete change from the antagonism of his confected Churchillian defiance in his election performance last year based on selling our gullible countrymen the canard that President Trump was on a personal vendetta “to break us.”
You’d think a former banker would be better at watching the government’s bank account.
But in only about seven months, Prime Minister Mark Carney already managed to go over budget, twice.
This latest wave of Abacus Data’s federal political tracking finds the political environment becoming more competitive after several months of steadily improving conditions for Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal government.
Government approval has fallen noticeably from its record high. Carney’s personal ratings have softened. The Liberal lead over the Conservatives has narrowed. At the same time, Canadians have become less optimistic about the direction of the country, reversing some of the gains we have seen since Carney became Prime Minister.
Even the Elbow Zombies will wake up and smell the ersatz coffee eventually.
Many people welcomed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s forceful denunciation on Monday of the “scourge of antisemitism” as something that is “specific, severe and demands a targeted response.” But the new initiative he announced — the launch of the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion — is woeful.
This Tuesday, after several days of dodging questions about the “technical” recession Canada is in (which is kind of like claiming a woman is “technically” pregnant), Prime Minister Mark Carney finally admitted the country’s economy was a bit patchy. The word he used is “bumpy.”
But Carney had an explanation. The recession wasn’t the culmination of 11 years of failed Liberal policy. No, no, no. It was the result of the caps his government had placed on out-of-control immigration.
A new 2026 poverty report card has been released by Food Banks Canada (FBC) showing a 24% food insecurity rate — the highest the country has seen in decades, says one expert.
The expert, none other than the Food Professor, or Sylvain Charlebois, who runs an agri-food lab at Dalhousie University, expressed the severity of this statistic on X — “Nearly one in four Canadians is struggling to put food on the table.”
Ottawa is boasting of fiscal anchors, but the latest stress test is about to give taxpayers that sinking feeling. This morning, the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) released its 2026 Economic and Fiscal Outlook, reviewing Ottawa’s fiscal projections and the probability of meeting them. The non-partisan agency found the federal plan stands up on paper, but it hasn’t quite developed its sea legs, pegging the odds of success at less than one percent.
Black advocates call out Carney government for excluding them from diversity council
Advocates for Black Canadians say the Carney government is reinforcing the barriers they face by launching an inclusivity council that does not include any Black people.
They said the decision raises questions about the prime minister’s approach to tackling discrimination.
“We’re tired of being an afterthought, tired of having to raise our voices to be heard and seen fully,” said former MP Jean Augustine, the first Black woman elected to the House of Commons.
The federal government is looking at expanding the military’s fighter fleet beyond its original plan for 88 jets, according to industry and government sources.
Negotiations are underway for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to acquire a larger mixed fleet of American-made Lockheed Martin F-35s and Saab Gripen-E fighters built in Canada, the sources said.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees freedom of thought and expression and freedom of religion, among other fundamental rights. These concepts are not abstract — they dictate what Canadians can say, write, or believe every day.
Bill C-9 is proposed legislation currently before the Senate that would regulate certain forms of expression and amend Canada’s hate propaganda laws. Critics argue that it threatens to restrict these freedoms in ways Canadians need to understand clearly.
Mark Carney visited a Brampton grocery store Friday to celebrate his government’s total failure on affordability.
The Prime Minister was there to promote the first payment of the new Groceries and Essentials Benefit program, essentially, the rejigged GST rebate.
Now, Carney’s supporters may say this is a victory, it is the government helping low income Canadians.
